Fans of *The Sopranos* might recognise the name Bada Bing, made famous by Tony Soprano's favourite strip club in the hit television series. Over on Pattaya's Soi Bongkot 8, the name has found another home, this time as a compact gentlemen's club with its own take on adult entertainment.

Sitting beside Pirates Hostess Club, Bada Bing has a fairly intimate interior, with a long black marble-topped bar, bench seating and a small stage with a dance pole towards the back. Curtained booths offer a little more privacy, while upstairs rooms provide somewhere more discreet for visitors spending time with the girls.

The atmosphere follows the familiar Pattaya gentlemen's club format, with the focus on drinks, conversation and the company of the hostesses rather than elaborate stage shows. It's a comfortable setting for those who prefer the more personal side of Pattaya nightlife, away from the larger go-gos of Walking Street.

Navigate your way to the secluded Soi Bongkot before midnight, and there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy a little Bada Bing, Bada Boom.
